Re: Headline News Thread
I knew about VW/Porsche, IIRC, that's been like that for quite a while.
As for Audi, I didn't know that, but I'll say my brother (longtime mechanic, for those who don't know) told me if I ever got an Audi, he would never touch it (he's the only one I trust with my vehicle nowadays). He hates the engineering on them.

My VW isn't diesel, but it still sucks.
Looks pretty, though.

I'm in my 2nd VW. Had an '11 Tiguan 2.0L turbo gasser, loved it but traded it in to increase towing capacity.
Now in a '14 Touareg 3.0L TDI. Really love this one, although in all honesty it very well may be overpriced compared to other brand offers. It does get slightly better fuel economy, despite being quite a bit heavier/bigger.

I have a 2007 Fahrenheit GTI. Fun little car when it is working correctly. I don't entirely blame VW for it, though. It has nearly 140000 miles on it, and I don't really have the funds to get it proper.

With all of the recent discussion on poaching, here's a good story:

IMO people like this are 100x more harmful than the standard sport-hunting dentist variety.

Meh. Never been clear to me why recreational drug use is a law enforcement issue. If people commit mischief while on drugs, hold them responsible. If they don't, then there's no problem. If there's abuse and addiction, that's a health concern. Might as well criminalize overeating.

Re: Headline News Thread
Neither option has the effect of either eliminating use or mischief.
I've always thought we have a really interesting situation in this country as it relates to drugs and alcohol. For both, we criminalize mischief created while using or suffering from the effects of them. But for only one do we criminalize the actual use (ignoring the minors issue).

Re: Headline News Thread
Attitudes towards alcohol have changed greatly, IMO, though. It is definitely not socially acceptable to have a few drinks and drive, whereas only a couple decades ago, it was no big deal.
Marijuana attitudes are slowly changing, but I think that will be a slower change because it's actually labeled a "drug" by society.
While it is not my thing, I'm for the legalization of marijuana, as long as it's regulated/etc similar to alcohol. It's probably "better" (for lack of a better term) for you than cigarettes, too, all things being considered.

Same here. No interest in sparking up, but for goodness' sake, it's harmless when it's done right (unlike a lot of legal substances).
